Aftermath

Scootaloo was called to the principal's office a little while later, she gulped a little when she saw that the matron from the orphanage was there. Thankfully Cirrus was nowhere to be found, but that was only a small consolation. The principal looked at her with a sigh and rubbed her temples.

"Scootaloo, I was told earlier that you punched one of your fellow students, do you have anything to say for yourself on these accusations?" She asked her.

Scootaloo shrank down a little as the Matron looked at her carefully, she didn't know what she was going to say to this to be honest. There wasn't much point in lying at this point, but she didn't want to get in trouble.

"Yeah... I punched him..." Scootaloo admitted with a soft sigh. "He deserved it though, I don't have anything to excuse my actions but..."

Scootaloo sighed a little, she was going to get into big trouble for this, how was she going to explain what happened to them? The matron knew about what was going on sure, but she hadn't had time to tell her about what had happened with Cirrus today for obvious reasons.

"Is the pony in question Cirrus?" The Matron asked as she looked at the Principal and at Scootaloo who nodded quietly, the principal's ears perked up a little at that.

"I see, why don't you tell us exactly what happened?" The Principal asked with a nod and an understanding smile. "Scootaloo, if he did something to you we can make sure that he's punished accordingly. Did he hurt you?"

Scootaloo looked down at her hooves, how was she going to explain this to them? This was something that wasn't going to be easy to discuss, even with the Matron, but she had to come clean, she would probably get into even more trouble if she didn't.

"He got me Pregnant..." she said softly and the Principal's eyes went wide. "When I saw him this morning, he was flirting with another student. I just, lost it I guess and punched him, I know what I did was wrong and I will take any punishment you want to give me for it."

The principal sighed and shook her head a little. "I see, I was afraid something like this may come up eventually, Cirrus has a bit of a reputation of being a ladies colt, we have a whole file on complaints about his behavior but we've never been able to prove anything. Its not helped that his father is on the school board."

"So what does that mean, is he going to get away with this?" Scootaloo asked as she looked up at the Principal. "He's going to just throw me away like a piece of trash and move on to some poor unsuspecting filly?"

"Well, do you have any witnesses?" The Principal asked.

"My friends, and the filly that was there," Scootaloo said with a nod. "They saw everything, and my friends have seen the doctor's report."

"I talked to the doctor myself, I can confirm its authenticity," the Matron said with a shake of her head. "What are we going to do about this?"

"I will have a word with his parents, that's the most I can do at the moment," the principal said with a shake of her head. "I'm afraid there's not a whole lot I can do unless they're willing to listen. As for you Scootaloo, there w ill have to be a punishment for what happened here today of course, fighting is not allowed on school grounds regardless of the reason."

"I understand, I'll accept whatever it is," Scootaloo said with a nod.

"You'll be suspended for three days and spend the next two weeks in detention, its the minimum I can do considering the circumstances," the Principal said with a shake of her head. "I'm sorry this happened to you Scootaloo, but sadly it sometimes comes up. I went to school with a filly around your age who wound up in the same situation, she wound up moving away and I don't even know what happened to the foal."

"I just hope that I'll be able to do what I need to," Scootaloo said with a sigh as she looked up at the Matron. "What's going to happen to me?"

"Well, given the situation, I don't think that it would be fair to punish you any more than you already are being punished," the Matron said with a shake of her head. "Scootaloo, are you going to be okay?"

"Honestly, I don't know," Scootaloo admitted with a sigh as she looked over at the Principal. "I guess that means I have to go home now... can you get word to Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle that I had to go home?"

"Of course, just be safe and I'll see you in school in a few days," the Principal said with a smile as Scootaloo and the matron left the office.

On the way out of the school they briefly passed by Cirrus who was heading towards the Principal's office, Scootaloo didn't even bother looking at him. She just ignored him as they passed him, she couldn't believe that he would've done something like this.

The Matron put a hoof on her shoulder and smiled. "Come on Scootaloo, I don't think we need to go home just yet, why don't you go see what Rainbow Dash is up to?"

"Well, other than the fact that he'd probably tear Cirrus limb from limb once I told her?" Scootaloo pointed out and then paused a little. "Why is that a bad thing again?"

"Because we don't want Rainbow to get into trouble," the Matron said with a shake of her head, she didn't blame Scootaloo for wanting something to happen to Cirrus but she didn't want Rainbow to get into trouble either. "Don't worry Scootaloo, he won't get away with this, I promise."

Scootaloo smiled a little as they left the school. "So, I'll see you later then?"

"Of course, just take care of yourself okay?" The Matron said with a smile as she gave Scootaloo a hug before she climbed on her scooter and headed off to find Rainbow Dash.

00000

Scootaloo sighed a little, she still had a lot to think about given what was going on and it still hurt a lot that she had found out about what Cirrus was doing. It wasn't easy to try and figure out everything that was going on, but she was going to mange, somehow.

Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom helping her out was a good start, and she knew that Rainbow would be there for her when she needed it, but was everything going to be okay? She sighed a little before she stopped at Fluttershy's cottage, Rainbow had a day off and she figured it was the best place to start looking for her.

"Hey Scootaloo, is everything okay? Shouldn't you be in school?" Fluttershy asked as she opened the door.

"Yeah, I, kinda got suspended for a few days..." Scootaloo said with a sigh as she rubbed her foreleg. "Is Rainbow here? I wanted to talk to her about it."

"She's just upstairs, I can get her, make yourself at home," Fluttershy said as Scootaloo nodded and sat down on the couch while the yellow Pegasus headed upstairs to find Rainbow Dash.

"Well hello there Scootaloo," a male voice said and she jumped up with a start as she turned to see Discord standing behind her.

"Oh, hey Discord," Scootaloo said with a shrug as she looked at the spirit of chaos. "How's it going? Still causing trouble I bet."

"Oh you know me, trouble is my life," Discord said with a chuckle as he sipped the teacup and left the tea in its place on the plate. "So what brings you here on a school day, did you get into trouble?"

"Oh, something like that," Scootaloo said with a sigh as she looked at Discord. "I'm just trying to figure some stuff out right now is all, its not been easy for me lately."

"Oh, well then, if anypony is giving you trouble I'll deal with them," Discord said and with a snap of his claws was dressed in a strange looking tan uniform with a hat pulled down over his horns. "We'll blast them to Tartarus, don't you worry!"
Scootaloo just chuckled lightly at Discord's strange antics, she had no idea what was going on here but she couldn't help but laugh.

"Its a personal matter, I've just..." Scootaloo said and paused for a long moment, how was she going to tell Discord this? How was she going to tell anypony this? She had already made a big mistake, and she honestly had no idea how she felt about the idea of anypony else knowing. "I'm pregnant..."

"Oh would you look at that, Scootaloo's going to have a little scooter or two," Discord said with a chuckle as he snapped his claw and his outfit vanished as he snaked his way over to Scootaloo. "So, let me guess, the daddy isn't exactly thrilled about the prospect is he?"

"He, kinda cheated on me, and then I punched him in the face," Scootaloo said with a sigh. "Honestly I think at this point our relationship is over, good riddance to bad rubbish I guess, but I don't know what to do with this little foal now."

"Don't worry Scootaloo, you'll think of something," Discord said as he placed a paw on Scootaloo's shoulder. "Your Uncle Discord is here to help you out as best he can. What do you want, have him be chased by bees... my god. Or maybe something a bit more, creative than that?"

"You'd do that for me? I don't want you to get into trouble," Scootaloo said as she looked at Discord nervously. "I don't want you to be put back into stone or something else on account of me."

"Oh, you're worried about little old me?" Discord said with a chuckle as he snapped his fingers and vanished before re-appearing much smaller on Scootaloo's nose. "You've got nothing to worry about Scootaloo, I know Rainbow probably would want to do something to him instead but... oh wait, I can't tell you about that, as River Song says, spoilers!"

"Who is River Song?" Scootaloo asked with a tilt of her head as Discord just laughed and waved his claw.

"Ask Doctor Whooves that one someday, he'd be able to tell you the whole story," Discord said with a chuckle before he patted Scootaloo on the bridge of her nose. "But really Scootaloo, you don't have anything to worry about, we're all going to be here for you in any way we can. That includes of course giving your ex a hard time for leaving you like this, okay?"

"Good, do everything you can to help, but lets try not to hurt him too much," Scootaloo said with a chuckle as Discord vanished and re-appeared his normal size.

"Aye aye mon capitane," Discord said and snapped his claw once more as he changed into a strange one piece mostly black outfit with a red trim and four golden circles on his collar before he vanished again.

"What was that about?" Scootaloo wondered out loud as she shook her head, Discord was being weird, though that really wasn't anything new was it.

"Oh, was Discord here?" Fluttershy asked as she came downstairs with Rainbow Dash close behind.

"Uh, yeah, and I may have kind of set him on Cirrus," Scootaloo said as she rubbed the back of her head a little. "Hey Rainbow, how's it going?"

"Hey squirt, how's the little one?" Rainbow asked as she and Fluttershy took their seats on either side of Scootaloo.

"Well, they're definitely there," Scootaloo said with a sigh as she looked down at her stomach. "The Matron said she talked to the Doctors and they were certain that the tests were correct."

"I see," Rainbow said as her face fell a little, she looked over at Fluttershy who gave her a slight nod as Rainbow put her wing around Scootaloo gently. "Don't worry Scootaloo, everything is going to be just fine, I promise."

"Do you really think so?" Scootaloo asked as she looked up at her honorary big sister. "I mean, I don't really know what I'm going to do, I don't have any experience with being a parent and I never really knew my own parents, so... what exactly am I going to do about this?"

Rainbow flinched a little, but she tried to keep it hidden from Scootaloo. This wasn't making matters any easier and she kept feeling like she should really tell Scootaloo somehow, maybe that would at least help her realize that she wasn't alone in this.

She shook her head a little, she didn't want to tell Scootaloo it yet, maybe somewhere down the line after she had worked things out with the Matron. She still had a long way to go before she was ready to try and raise Scootaloo, let alone try and raise Scootaloo and her granddaughter.

"Don't worry about it Scoots, we're all going to be here for you, you'll be just fine," Rainbow said with a smile as she hugged Scootaloo again. "You don't want to give up the foal do you?"

"Honestly? Its not an easy choice to make," Scootaloo admitted with a sigh. "I was raised in orphanages and foster homes, while I was pretty lucky I don't want my foal to have to go through the same things I did. What do you think I should do?"

"I think you should do whatever you feel is right," Fluttershy said and nodded a little.

"So what was it you were saying before about setting Discord on Cirrus?" Rainbow asked as she looked down at Scootaloo who flinched a little.

"He... I found out today that he cheated on me," Scootaloo said with a sigh. "Apparently this isn't the only time either, he's apparently been kind of a problem at the school and, I really don't know what to do."

"Why that little, I'm going to..." Rainbow started to say when Fluttershy shot her a look that made her stop in mid sentence.
"You're right, I shouldn't do that..."

"Rainbow, I know you're angry about this and so am I," Fluttershy said with a shake of her head. "Cirrus should've owned up to his responsibilities as best he could and not strayed, but there's nothing we can do about it. And attacking him is certainly not going to do Scootaloo any good right now."

Rainbow nodded, but she still felt angry about the whole thing, she couldn't believe that Cirrus had done this to Scootaloo. She had met him and he actually seemed pretty nice, but it was starting to look like that had been a facade to get closer to Scootaloo.

She sighed and looked down at the teenage filly, it was sad how much it felt like things were repeating themselves. She had been in almost the same exact situation, and she hated that her own daughter was going through the same thing, she knew at that point that she had to make this work somehow, for all their sakes.

"Okay, I won't hurt him," Rainbow finally said with a sigh. "But can we at least leave that option open? I mean he kinda deserves it after what's been happening."

"We'll see," Fluttershy said with a chuckle. "Besides, it sounds to me like Discord is already going to handle it."

"Yeah, and the Matron and the Principal said that they were going to talk with his parents, that might help," Scootaloo added with a nod. "Maybe they'll ship him off to boarding school and we'll never have to see him again, that would be great."

"We'll see I guess," Rainbow said with a chuckle as she ruffled Scootaloo's mane. "Don't worry about it Scoots, you don't need him anyway, you have everything you need to be the best mom you can be if that's what you choose."

"You really think so?" Scootaloo asked as she looked up at Rainbow who just gave her a smile.

"I know so, don't worry about it," Rainbow said with a nod as she and Fluttershy hugged Scootaloo. "We're going to be here for you every step of the way, I promise. And if that plothead tries anything, he'll have to answer to the two of us, right Flutters?"

"That's right," Fluttershy said with a smile as she wrapped her wings gently around Rainbow and Scootaloo. "

Scootaloo smiled and hugged the two older mares back. She knew that she had a hard task ahead of her, but she was going to do the best she can with the help of her friends and family, that's really all she needed to know at this point.

She just had to hope that it would be enough.
